One of the reasons the American Legion doesn't have more good members is they don't recognize all veterans the way the U.S. government does.
I served my country with honor from 1956 to 1960 during the Cold War. We could have been at war again back then, but we were ready. During that time I picked up asbestos scarring of my lungs. It is something I have to live with.
Thank God the VA is there for non-American Legion veterans. I also have Maine veteran license plates.
